Lago Tacos - Uptown

Lago Tacos is one of my favorite restaurants, purely due to the food. The firecracker shrimp with queso is the best food I've had and at reasonable prices. With that being said, I always leave disappointed with the ambiance. I can't put my finger on it, as service is great and the restaurant is always nice, but I don't find myself wanting to stay for long periods of time. We mostly eat and go elsewhere for drinks.

This is a nice casual eatery on lyndale. I have been here many times and there are a great community staple.The service has varied each time I've been, with it sometimes being slow and sometimes fast. Items or side orders have been forgotten.The food is solid. The dishes are classic in many ways but not 100% authentic mexican. I'd recommend stopping in for sure, and trying the firecracker shrimp or chicken tinga!

Cutest outdoor patio! I'd love to come back next summer. The tacos were just ok and the service was excellent. And the Churro Bomb dessert was awesome! Overall, a fun place for a happy hour with friends, especially when the weather is nice and warm. Churro Bombs (5/5). Churro shells filled with melted Nutella flavored chocolate and served with ice cream. Delicious!!!Tacos Al Pastor (3/5) they were just ok. Firecracker Shrimp Tacos (2/5). The deep fried shrimp was fine, but was so bland. Did they really need to name it "Firecracker"? Heinz Ketchup was spicier than this dish.

I found this establishment just perfect this early evening before catching a show at the Children's Theatre Company with my husband.We parked in their back lot for free.We asked if we could sit at the outdoor patio and the hostess said "Yes" so we sat at the bar and received very nice service from PM Bartender P and the rest of the staff who really worked well together to serve beverages and food efficiently. The happy hour Mini Margs for $5 are nummy.5 stars for the Thai Peanut Chicken Bowl special-not something I would ordinarily pick but it had such a great fresh flavor that I really enjoyed it. This item is very rich so I would share it or take it home for leftovers.

Stopped in during happy hour with a friend. Pre-pandemic we would eat here often & have always loved it. The staff are always nice & attentive. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos with rice & chipotle mayo & she got the tuna tacos with rice & sweet corn cake. The tacos were good as always. The sides were a bit off like they were premade & sitting all day. After we ate we decided to order Washington Apple shots which were big shots & good. Surprised at how slow a lot of the businesses were at happy hour but it was a Monday but happy we were able to get parking in the lot (smaller lot behind the restaurant) & a table right away. Overall we love Lagos & will hopefully get the chance to go again.

Lago Tacos is my go to delivery spot! The patio is also amazing in the summer with an outdoor bar that adds a fun atmosphere!My favorite item on the menu is chips and queso! It has house made chips and pico de gallo and green onions on top. While this is a mildly spicy queso it is delicious. Another go to that is ordered almost everything is the barbacoa bowl. The meat is tender and flavorful and I have to say this is the best meat option on the menu! It comes with a jalapeño and avocado salsa that pairs perfectly with the meat. Definitely recommend getting an extra side of it! The steak is an okay option but does not compare to the barbacoa. For a unique option the southern fried chicken bowl has a mix of unique flavors including apples, boerbon cherries, jalapeño ranch, and blue cheese crumbles! Definitely does not fit in the modern Mexican options but was good! Also recommend the sweet corn cakes, they are drool worthy! The nachos are good but I wish they offered the barbacoa! I always go with chicken and enjoy them. The fried avocado and stuffed jalapeños are things items on the menu that I would skip! Tres Leches wasn't my favorite but others that I have eaten there with have really enjoyed it!

I went here with some friends for a late lunch. The patio seating was really nice with the spring weather! Our server was attentive to our table and helpful when making selections. I ordered the chicken tinga tacos. They were delicious! As a table we also ordered the chips and dips. Loved that there were 4 dips: guac, salsa, queso, and refried beans. It was very tasty and a great appetizer to enjoy while waiting for our food. I'll definitely be back!

Tuna tacos are the bomb! So flavorful and yummy. Idk what they marinade the tuna in but it's amazing. My fave tacos. I will always come back for these. I also love the corn cakes but was disappointed that it was cold and dry today. The rice also didn't taste fresh, but when they are done fresh they are also good. Service was great per usual. Quick time to get the food out, although I would have waited a bit longer for fresh sides. Also got a $5 water moccasin shot, which was very strong. Good value overall here at lago tacos.

The food and the vibes are great here. They have a wonderful patio which is dog friendly. I love getting their bowl and margaritas!

Amazing food very quick amazing cute servers I would bring all my friends here for a nice cheap good eats
